Selena Quintanilla's life may have tragically ended over 20 years ago, but her memory is more alive than ever. This is especially the case in the minds and hearts of her loved ones who were also an integral part of her music career. They never anticipated that her life would have been taken away when she was only 23 years old, and on the brink of becoming a global superstar. Despite this awful experience, her family has chosen to be open with her fans and share photos of their time together that reveal how close they truly were as a unit.

Selena's brother, A.B. Quintanilla, worked very closely with her and helped create some of her biggest hits like "Como la flor" and "Amor prohibido." We can't imagine how difficult it was for him to lose is sister and what must have felt like his life's work at once. "I had an awesome and beautiful sister that touched many hearts," A.B. told BMI. "She's more important than what I am. I was asked during a recent interview about what I felt most comfortable doing. My comfortable job was making the hits for Selena. My job was to be the guy in the shadows. That's the guy I liked being. Now I have to be the voice for her to make sure her legacy continues." 

Suzette Quintanilla, Selena's sister also shared an incredible bond with her. They were best friends that spent so much time on a tour bus while they were on the road. "Late nights after the gigs, she would wipe off her makeup, she would eat something, and then she would come and crawl in our bunk and we would just talk," Suzette told Popsugar. "About her makeup line, her dreams, her being a mother, her being married to Chris — just about life, what families and what sisters normally do. That for me was my special moment."

A.B. and Suzette have share so much about their time with Selena. Here are some of the best throwback pictures they have shared with fans on social media.
